Creates a shipment

post
https://tracking.hereapi.com/shipments/v4

Creates a new shipment. A shipment consists of segments each representing a part of the logistics journey. A segment spans from a location to another and each segment may be assigned a different tracking device.

The segments of the shipment must form a continuous chain of locations, that is the origin of a segment must match the destination of a previous segment.
